The landlocked West African country has seen several deadly attacks by armed groups linked to al-Qaeda and ISIL.
Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Burkina Faso, demanding a stronger response to rising bloodshed after a massacre last month killed more than 130 people.
Acting UN aid chief Ramesh Rajasingham says humanitarian situation in conflict-hit northern Ethiopian region has ‘worsened dramatically’ in recent weeks.
More than 400,000 people in Ethiopia’s Tigray are now suffering famine and 1.8 million others are on the brink, a top United Nations official has said, painting a devastating picture of an embattled region where humanitarian access is extremely restricted.

Nu am visat niciodată că trebuie să mă confrunt cu perspective a nu trăi în Statele Unite ale Americii, cel puțin nu pe cea pe care am cunoscut-o toată viața. Nu mi-am dorit niciodată să trăiesc altundeva.
Around the world, this city of great, if often ramshackle, charm has become Exhibit A in the case against immigration, particularly when it involves large numbers of Muslims.
Donald J. Trump called the Belgian capital “a hellhole,” while Lubomir Zaoralek, the foreign minister of the Czech Republic, recently cited the city to explain why his and other Eastern European countries had steadfastly resisted a plan by the European Union to spread Syrian and other Muslim refugees around the Continent under a quota system.
Amid Europe’s turbulent political landscape, a party – whose aim is to create an Islamic State – is hoping to win seats in Belgium’s October municipal elections.
The Islam Party got two members elected in 2012, including one in the Molenbeek area of Brussels.
The story of this district in Brussels, hideout for some of the terrorists of the 2015 Paris attacks, demonstrates that in the fight against radicalism new socio-political configurations and a mature and courageous Islamic leadership are needed
Many of the terrorists involved in the Paris attacks occurring on 13 November 2015 came from Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, a neighbourhood in Brussels that has since become the butt of aggressive discourse in France, Italy, the United States and elsewhere. Linked to Belgian jihadists who left to fight amongst Islamic State’s ranks in Syria during the period 2013-2014, this network continued its works with the attacks on Brussels airport and the “Maalbeek” underground station in Brussels on 22 March 2016. In the light of these events, one can justifiably ask whether there exists a “Molenbeek effect” on Islamic radicalism and what lessons may be learned from this case.
This is the scenario the US has been concerned about for years. The pro-Iran attacks may spill over to Syria.
Iran’s media gave major headlines to claims of attacks on US forces in Syria on Sunday. The July 4 date was symbolic; it was US Independence Day. What could be a better day for Iran to claim it had struck a US base in Syria?
However, it turns out the rumors of the rocket attacks were likely false, and the US-led coalition denied any incident happened in Syria.
